I, Lazarus

devoid of blood and spiritless,
lay in the darkness, meritless:
my corpse?a thing cold, dead, apart.

But then I thought I heard?a Voice,
a Voice that called me from...

foisted upon her was the merry go round crystal chandelier

it stuck in her beautiful mind like a beacon of flaming desire

of clouds fried by a cuckoo with an indestructible socket

As a young boy
Sitting in a pew
The winter darkness pressing down
Candlelight waves from hidden drafts

"Shrouded" 

found in the humanity
not in the divinity

"One of you is my betrayer".

Or down yet another city street,
This Way down that grand Hiway,

Golden and deep emerald...

Bethesda, passed five porticoes and came
Eventually upon the Roman fortress;
My curiosity overriding shame. 

Six trials they say He underwent, stood still
With arms behind Him bound, yet He...

THE CROSS

Mary His Mother 
And Mary His disciple
Crying below, at His feet.

Blood running down the wood.
